Therapists in North Carolina

As a woman and/or mother, it can feel like you are buried underneath the relentless demands of everyone else in your life. It can leave you feeling invisible, angry, & exhausted. It doesn’t have to feel that way - together we can uncover your needs, wants, & desires so you can create a satisfying, fulfilling, and connected life. In therapy, I hold space for you to explore what your needs are, & examine the barriers & relationship patterns that might be keeping you tired & feeling stuck. Together we will develop an understanding of yourself that ultimately empowers you to use your voice & implement the change you need & want.

Are you overwhelmed and depleted by the historic stressors of the past several years…or decades? Has your role as a parent or partner diminished your sense of self? Does acknowledging your own needs trigger your inner critic and feelings of guilt? I am a seasoned cognitive behavioral therapist with additional specialization in pregnancy/postpartum mental health and couples therapy. As social beings, our relationships can be powerful catalysts for personal healing and growth. Many former clients describe how deepening intimate bonds in the present brings healing to past wounds and long-held insecurities.

Do you often feel uncertain, unsure of yourself, seek validation and approval from others, unable to cope with life transitions, family conflict, depression, divorce, separation from love ones, death of a love one or need a trusted professional to talk to, well welcome!

Hey there, Momma! Are you feeling overwhelmed, sad, lost, or even angry? As much as you love your little one, are there still times you just can’t be all they need, and it makes you feel like the worst momma out there? I’m here to walk this path through the darkness with you into the happy and capable woman you want to be.

I specialize in trauma/PTSD, childbirth trauma, perinatal disorders, and couples counseling using a wide range of evidence-based modalities, including traditional "talk therapy," and neuro-based approaches such as EMDR. Trauma, such as childhood abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, etc., can create chaos in many areas of your life, including relationships, parenting, work/school performance, and even your physical health. My goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space where we can explore not just the trauma itself, but also how it intersects with other issues and patterns in your life.

I help moms thrive without fear, anxiety and overwhelm. My clients struggle as you do. Despite being strong, capable and amazing, life is hard. Even harder really since becoming a mom. When you first come in, you’re struggling to know yourself, inundated with overwhelm, fear, worry and a heavy load. Everyone’s load may look different, but it’s heavy. With EMDR, moms can begin to feel less overwhelmed, less triggered, less anxious and there’s room for more joy!
